Q

Why is it important that the human trachea is reinforced with cartilaginous rings?

A

To maintain its open passageway regardless of the pressure changes that occur during breathing (keeps it from collapsing like the esophagus does)

Q

Under what internal conditions does air tend to flow out of the lungs? Explain why?

A

Decrease in thoracic volume, increase in pressure. Gases move in the direction that tends to equalize pressure inside and outside the “container”.

Q

What effect does contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles have on thoracic volume, and how is this accomplished?

A

Thoracic Volume Increases. The diaphragm moves inferiorly, increasing the superior/inferior dimension; the ribs swing up and out, increasing the lateral and anterior and posterior dimensions

Q

What temporary physiologic advantage is created by the substantial increase in chest circumference during forced inspiration?

A

Increases the thoracic volume more; creates a greater negative internal pressure; causing the gases to rush in quickly; more fresh air reaches the alveoli

Q

The presence of a partial vacuum between the pleural membranes is integral to normal breathing movements, what would happen if an opening were made into the chest cavity, as with a puncture wound?

A

The vacuum would be destroyed causing the lung affected to collapse. To treat this a chest tube is inserted withdrawing the air and the chest is closed.

Q

Why does hyperventilation produce apnea?

A

Hyperventilation washes carbon dioxide out of the blood. Since carbon dioxide is the major chemical stimulus for inspiration, the desire or drive to breathe is decreased.

49
Q

Why does rebreathing air produce an increased respiratory rate?

A

Breathing CO2 raises the acidity in the blood and signals a need for more O2

50
Q

What was the effect for running in place (exercise) on the duration of breath holding?

A

Decreased

51
Q

Increase in blood CO2 increase or decrease the respiratory rate and depth?

A

Increase

52
Q

Decrease in blood O2 increase or decrease the respiratory rate and depth?

A

Increase

53
Q

Increase in blood pH increase or decrease the respiratory rate and depth?

A

Decrease

54
Q

Decrease in blood pH increase or decrease the respiratory rate and depth?

A

Increase

55
Q

Did it appear the CO2 or O2 had a more marked effect on modifying the respiratory rate?

A

CO2

56
Q

Where are sensory receptors sensitive to changes in blood pressure located?

A

Aortic arch and carotid sinus

57
Q

Where are sensory receptors sensitive to changes in O2 levels in the blood located?

A

Aortic bodies in the aortic arch and carotid bodies @ the diffraction of the common carotid artery

58
Q

What is the primary factor that initiates breathing in a newborn infant?

A

Increased levels of CO2 in the blood

59
Q

Define buffer?

A

A molecule or molecularly system that acts to resist pH changes

60
Q

What buffer system operates in blood plasma?

A

Carbonic acid bicarbonate system

61
Q

Which component of the buffer system resists a drop in pH?

A

HCO3: bicarbonate

62

Which resists a rise in pH?

A

H2CO3: Carbonic acid

63

Formula of total capacity

A

Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume + Residual Volume
